Million Dollar American Princesses

Join Elizabeth McGovern as she takes an in-depth look at the young American heiresses whose real life stories inspired the acclaimed TV drama "Downton Abbey" on "Million Dollar American Princesses".

Through the decades, these women bring dramatic change to the European aristocracy and eventually the world.
